So, did anyone go to the show--and did you buy or sell anything?
-
Yup, I went. I was underwhelmed, but managed to sell some items for a reasonable price to a New York dealer.
K.E.H. was there and had about 15 people waiting in line to sell their gear.
There were slim pickings and nothing screamed "Buy me." Just a small assortment of consumer grade 35mm, some interesting folders, 3 or 4 Hasselblad bodies, 4 or 5 monorail 4x5's, and a couple of really BIG lenses.
I'm glad I didn't drive far.

Did you sell the 5x7 kit?
-
I sold the 8½" and the film holders but held onto the camera and tripod. I managed to keep the mounting flange with the lens board. If anyone is interested in the camera sans lens & holders give me a shout.
-
About what I expected, although I wonder about those big lenses. Just curious--how much did you get per film holder?

I guess it's good to know that that I have an excuse not to make the trip when I'm fresh out of others; like foul weather, Mixing Bowl contruction or snipers running amuck. Actually the best reason is the all too familiar two hour drive back, kept company by deepening misgivings about what I'd just bought, sold or traded away -- the latter usually trying to "fix" oopsies from a previous show. (Not that that ever stopped me.)
And I actually made it to the Adams film. Decent bio-pic, though it mostly fleshed out what I already knew. Except for one personal factoid -- his widow was an aquaintance / neighbor of mine -- three decades ago.
